Update 2007-05 broke 802.11 access

I installed the Security Update 2007-005, Security Update (Quicktime 7.1.6) and iTunes Update 7.2 and rebooted and I no longer have wireless access to my Netgear router.
I get the Airport menu icon grayed out and 'There was an error joining the Airport network "...."'.
I have a Powerbook G4 running OSX 10.3.9
I have tried:
* Restarting the Netgear router
* Restarting the Powerbook
* Cold restart of the Powerbook
* Repairing disk permissions and restart
* Resetting my keychain and restart
* Running lookupd -flushcache (clutching at straws now)...
... all to no avail.
Any ideas??

Normally you shouldn't have this issue, however there is a specific method to fix this and it must be done in the correct order.
1st do not change any settings, but check and make sure in your NETWORK settings in your System Preferences that you have AIRPORT selected and at the top of the list and it is highlighted with the green dot.
2nd turn your computer clear OFF.
Pull the Power Adapter from the back of both your Internet Service Providers MODEM.
Next Pull the Power Adapter from your ROUTER. Next you must wait 5 minutes.
After you wait 5 minutes plug in the adapter to your ISP's Modem and you must wait 1 minute.
Now plug in the power adapter to your ROUTER in and again you must wait 1 minute.
Now restart your computer and you should be good to go.

  • After Aiport Extreme Update 2007 001 broke LEAP and 802.1x authentication

    Apple Updater installed the Airport update 2007 001. This has completely broken my LEAP and 802.1x network access. It never recognizes the "preferred" networks, and if I connect manually by entering in the password it doesn't transmit any packets.
    I tried to reverse the upgrade by following these instructions but then it wouldn't recognize my airport hardware: www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20070126190822382
    I tried to file a bug report, but that apple bug reporter seems to be down (it says, "An Exception has Occurred (click triangle to view)" but no triangle exists).
    ***?

    I finally discovered what was going on. When doing either the 10.4.9 update or the Airport update, my /System/Library/Keychains/X509Anchors file was either corrupted or completely emptied. The file did remain with 0K size.
    I started noticing that all SSL connections from the computer were failing (Safari, iChat, whatever) that depended on the Mac OS X components to do the SSL validation. (Firefox continued to work fine, as it has its own SSL stack.) I then ran the Keychain file check in Keychain, which alerted me to the exact file problem.
    My wife also has a MacBook with the same version of Mac OS X, so I was able to copy her X509Anchors file to my computer and everything worked perfectly after that. SSL came back, iChat works, Safari works with SSL, and 802.1x works again.
    Hope that helps someone else...

  • Airport Extreme Update 2007-002 broke my connections

    I was working properly with my brand new MacBook. I was able to connect to my ADSL router using a wireless connection perfectly.
    Unfortunately, after installing the Update 2007-002 everything colapsed. Now, I cannot connect to any network.
    I have tried to connect to a non-secured network and it doesn't work. I have tried to connect to a 64 bits WEP secured net and it doesn't work. Then, I tried with a 128 bits WEP secured net, and it also doesn't work.
    The point is that the networks are visible i.e. I can select them, but after a few secods I get the answer <<there was an error joining the AirPort network "networkname">>.
    I'm very upset with this. Is it normal?.
    If anybody has some ideas or suggestions for solving the problem, please... post them.
    Thanks everybody in advance.

    Hi,
    The next article is really interesting but It has been useless to me. http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20070309093714978
    I have tried almost everything and nothing worked.
    I even tried to remove the update by doing the next:
    1. Download the most recent version of Mac OS X for Intel (10.4.8) but do not install it.
    2. Download and install the shareware application Pacifist
    3. Drag the Mac OS X 10.4.8 installer package onto the Pacifist application icon.
    4. Click the triangle next to "System" to expand it
    5. Click the triangle next to "Library" to expand it
    6. Click the triangle next to "Extensions" to expand it
    7. Scroll down and find the file IO80211Family.kext. Drag it to your Desktop or another location (you will have to enter your administrator password)
    8. On your Mac OS X startup drive, navigate to /System/Library/Extensions and locate a similarly named file (IO80211Family.kext). Move it to another location for safe keeping.
    9. Now drag the file from step 7 (the one that you retrieved from the Mac OS X 10.4.8 install package) into the /System/Library/Extensions, in effect replacing the newer file (installed by the AirPort updater) with and older copy -- you will have to enter an administrator password.
    10. Restart your Mac
    But after doing this, the OS wasn't able to find the airport card, so no connectivity existed.
    At the end, in order to have some kind of connectivity I re-installed the 2007-002 and now I'm again like I was before removing it.
    I cannot update the firmware of my router because I don't know the exact model (I bought it within a ''kit'' of a telecom enterprise, and they remove this information from the device).
    Any new idea, will be appreciated.

  • Security Update 2007-04 Broke my Mouse/Keyboard Settings and Login Items

    Any help would be more than appreciated; this is not a tragic issue, but it's annoying and I dislike having things broken, especially because this old Mac has been pretty much trouble-free for me over the years.
    On the first reboot after installing Security Update 2007-04 in OS X 10.4.9 I noticed that my login items (iCal, A-Dock) did not launch, and that my mouse cursor and keyboard speed settings had reverted to the default "slow" speeds.
    The login items were still present in their normal place (System > Accounts > Login Items), but do not launch after a login/logout or reboot. (The items launch fine manually, though.) Similarly, I can change the keyboard and mouse settings (both are Apple Pro devices), but these settings revert upon rebooting.
    As per usual I repaired permissions immediately before and after installing Security Update, and I had nothing running while the update was in progress. I tried deleting and resetting the login items to no avail; the new choices appear in system preferences, but do not launch anything on login.
    I've cleared all caches using Yasu, I reinstalled 10.4.9 using the Combo updater, and still I go back to square one when I reboot. I even deleted ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist and ~/Library/Preferences/loginwindow.plist ; that didn't do anything, either.

    So, reinstalling the combo 10.4.9 didn't fix it, neither did installing today's Apple Security Update 2007-004v1.1, neither did resetting the PRAM, neither did numerous series of cache clearing, nor deleting all login startup items.
    Any ideas, folks? Apart from simply not restarting (which I seldom need to do anyway), I don't like having things broken, and having to reset my mouse and keyboard speed settings after a restart is tedious, let along not having anything launch automatically.

  • 802.1x Auth Error After Installing AirPort Update 2007-002 and 10.4.9

    After installing the AirPort Extreme Update 2007-002 (and 10.4.9, but I doubt that update did it), I am unable to log into my campus's wireless network. I get the message "802.1x Authentication has failed. (Error: 1001 on port en1)"
    I've double-checked the settings, and all looks good. Other Macs are able to log in fine but they do not have this update applied.
    Other wireless connections from this computer work fine, including using another SSID on this wireless network using WPA/TKIP. Only the 802.1x auth is failing.
    I'm a systems admin for the college, and I can see in the radius logs that an error is generated:
    "Unexpected error. Possible error in server or client configuration."
    I'm the only one getting this error. Anyone have any ideas about this?
    Thanks in advance.

  • 802.11n enabler (AirPort Extreme Update 2007-001/2007-001 update)

    Hi,
    I'm thinking of getting time capsule and then getting the 802.11n enabler.
    On the UK apple store(http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukstore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=17BDE0AD&fnode= home/shopmac/mac_accessories/airportwireless&nplm=D4141) it states i need the AirPort Extreme Update 2007-001, but I can't find it.
    On the US store (http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?find=en abler) it states i need the AirPort Extreme Update 2007-002 update. I found that one and downloaded it but when trying to install it says "This volume does not meet the requirements for this update".
    What do I need to to get this update??
    Do I already have it??
    Am I even able to get 802.11n??
    Any help will be welcomed
    For clarification these are my specs taken from system profiler.
    Model Name: iMac
    Model Identifier: iMac5,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
    Memory: 2 GB

    So it looks like I can't get 802.11n on my mac then. Oh well, good excuse for a new mac.
    The apple store is quite misleading then it says you need either:
    MacBook Pro with Intel Core 2 Duo
    MacBook with Intel Core 2 Duo
    Mac Pro with AirPort Extreme option
    iMac with Intel Core 2 Duo (except the 17-inch, 1.83GHz iMac)
    I have the latter iMac with Intel Core 2 Duo (2.16Ghz), will probably get time capsule anyway though.

  • Airport connection, Keychain access after Airport Update 2007-003 & 10.4.9

    Not sure what to do here.
    I installed the Airport Update 2007-003 and the 10.4.9 update simultaneously. After restarting my computer it would connect to my home (WEP) wireless network but would disconnect suddenly.
    I had a suspicion it was the Keychain. I tried to open Keychain access, and it just crashed immediately and every time thereafter.
    I turned of WEP and connected to the network just fine.
    Any ideas? Is there any way to reinstall Keychain access while retaining the keychain?
    Many thanks in advance!

    I just repaired the permissions on my Powerbook G4 (which does correctly connect to the router) and found that the same permissions required fixing. Here's the repaired permissions report:

  • Security Update 2007-004: Be advised of FTP access turned off

    After installing security update 2007-004, I could not get either of my Nikon D2Xs to upload photos to my computer via their WT-1 wireless transmitters. I spent hours troubleshooting the problem. It turned out that FTP access in the Sharing system preferences panel had been turned off which disallowed the camera to transmit the photos to a designated folder on my MBP. I wish I had checked that earlier.
    15" MBP   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  
    15" MBP    

    I noticed that too, and it's not limited to MBPs or even Intel Macs: it happened on my dual 1 GHz PowerMac G4. Look on the bright side: at least the update didn't turn on any service you wanted off.

  • AirPort Extreme Update 2007-004 did not solve my reliability problems.

    The latest update from Apple did not fix the problem on my system, and now I don´t know what I should do, is there anything I can do to somehow fix it?
    I can´t use the computer like this, it´s very annoying, for example I can´t browse the web with Safari(constant "Failed to open page" or "You´re not connected to the internet" messages), ethernet is not an option, besides, what´s the point of a laptop if I cannot connect to the network wirelessly?
    This is my first MacBook by the way, I like its look & feel, easy of use and integration, but this AirPort issue completely took away the "just works" image I had of Apple´s products.
    Don´t get me wrong though, I knew the Mac was not going to be perfect, and that there would be problems(as usual), but I would never have expected something like this.
    I´d really like to get this thing to work, the Mac pretty much offers the kind of integration that I´ve always wanted in Linux.
    Anyway.. am I the only one whose system is still having problems with AirPort?
    What can I do to fix this?
    Should I just wait until Apple releases another bug fix for this? how long would this take?
    Should I return this MacBook to an Apple store?
    I bought this in the U.S. and there is no store on my country(Uruguay), there´re however some Apple Authorized Service Providers, should I take it to them? would they give me a brand new Mac or repair this one for free if I´m covered by the warranty?
    I read(http://www.apple.com/support/contact/) that since I´m still within the 90 days of ownership I can call Apple Technical support, but since they don´t have a number for my country, is there an alternative way of contacting them?(via email?).
    I don´t know.. what do you people think I shoud do?
    +Please don´t recommend me to install an older version, I really don´t want to, besides how do I know it will fix the issue?+
    About the problem:
    Symptoms:
    AirPort signal level randomly decreases until connection is lost, and there is no automatic reconnection.
    Manual reconnection is required and might not always succeed, and even if it does, it doesn´t last long(usually less than 3 minutes).
    Sometimes the network is missing from the menu(when clicking the wifi icon on status bar) and turning off and on AirPort is required.
    Judging from what I´ve read here and found on google, this is a known common problem that dates back to at least april 2007(see [1]).
    *Some (useful?) Information:*
    0) It might have worked better before updating (10.4.9 is the version of my Installation discs, I didn´t reinstall) to 10.4.10, but I can´t say for sure.
    1) According to [1] this seems to be a software problem in OS X, since the atheros driver works fine under Windows.
    2) It doesn´t matter if the laptop is running from battery or not, and it doesn´t seem to be related to waking from sleep state since it happens on a clean restart too.
    3) Once in a while, the OS asks me to enter the WPA passphrase again to connect to the network, why does it do this if the passphrase is already stored inside the default login keychain?. (entering the passphrase again does not fix the problem)
    4) Wireless router is a speedtouch modem, it´s properly configured and it´s known to work, its leds indicate that everything is ok.
    5) The MacBook is approx. 6m away from the speedtouch router(walls in between), electronic devices: headless computer next to the speedtouch modem, printer, radio, tv (note: not that it matters since the laptop has worked from this location before).

    Hi,
    Well I don´t know what to think now.. I installed the last security update, restarted, went to sleep and now it seems to be working much better, at least there doesn´t seem to be so many drop outs.
    I find it a little strange that the airport icon on the status bar that shows signal strength keeps changing, but maybe this is normal behaviour?, don´t know..
    I can´t say that the problem is fixed either since I didn´t start to experience airport issues immediately after I updated to 10.4.10, so who knows?
    Maybe it works for two days in a row and then it suddenly starts malfunctioning for no apparent reason.
    It could be very well be a combination of little problems here and there(some even caused by me editing system preferences) that add up and manifest as a bigger problem, I´ve no idea how to trace it, and as long as it works, I don´t care..
    I doubt this will help anyone, but anyway.. the last thing I remember doing before restarting was executing:
    # System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/A/Resources/airp ort --updateprefs
    which examines network preferences and repairs them if necessary.
    Then I went into System Preferences > Network, AirPort´s options and restored default settings, after that I configured it to require administrator password to "Create Computer-to-Computer networks".
    I´m hoping that the whole airport issue not working after the last airport update was a weird glitch or even better, caused by me.
    If it starts malfunctioning again, I´ll simply call AppleCare and let them deal with it, by the way, it kind of ***** that the only way of contacting them is via phone and no phone number is listed for my country.. no email address? ...
    Best Regards,

  • Applications not responding apparently after Security Update 2007-009

    Mail, iTunes, Skype, MSN Messenger, MainMenu, Emule, Safari and god know what else aren't responding after Security Update 2007-009.
    Hi,
    I recently purchased a new phone that does not work with macs, so I bought an application from Feisar to make it work. The application isn't freeware, so I think it is very unlikely that it bogused my system. Anyway, I installed the software, but only afterwards noticed it didn't work for my phone model with the USb interface, only through bluetooth, which I don't have. Moreover, and, in my opinion, more importantly, I also downloaded and installed security update 2007-009. After the update, I mandatorily restarted OS X and instantly noticed Mail, iTunes, Safari, Skype and Messenger not working. I click on them on the dock, they bounce (usually once, but it has occured to be more) and nothing happens. I don't get the little arrow below the icon. I see the applications in the applications folder, so they are not missing. I searched and searched on the internet and, apparently it is, to say the least, herculeanly complicated to downgrade from a software update. I tried to repair permissions and it didn't work. I tried the apple hardware test and everything came out perfect. I restarted many times and the same keeps happening.
    So I wasted half my day yesterday trying to fix this, looking into forums and trying to talk to people about it and there it absolutely no answer. Yesterday I installed the programs necessary to sync my phone in my wife's macbook and nothing bad happened. So I'm guessing it isn't about the phone plugins I installed. I've tried to download combo updates but they crash as soon as I try to install them - I even tried to install a 10.4.10 update.
    This is the error message I get:
    Command: Installer
    Path: /Applications/Utilities/Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Installer

    /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/WebKit
    I put part of in on google to check if there was anybody discussing anything related and someone suggested - bizarrely enough - updating adobe reader. I did it just in case and, of course, it didn't work. I repaired permissions a million times already, I rebooted in safe mode, I scaned the computer with apple jack (which reapetedly said that I had a "fan failure!"), I verified the disk with diskutility - which showed nothing. I tried downloading an anti-virus (ClamXav), but I couldn't open it also, I trashed my prefs, I deleted all internet plugins, but still.... nothing.
    The most likely line to follow here is the "fan failure" message in apple jack. I looked inside my g5 and all fans except for the one close to the Hard Drives aren't spining. I'm not sure this means they aren't functional or whether the temperature isn't high enough for it to be turned on. Temperature must be around 26-28 degrees Celsius today. There is nothing on the internet about that fan failure that's close enough to my case.
    I'm about to quit and take it to the very expensive - yet reliable - authorized tech support apple has in Rio. Any ideas, anyone?

    Maybe it is a security update thing! I have had similar troubles with my CS2 and other simple apps like TextEdit not opening, just doing that single bounce... I have tried EVERYTHING and now, after reinstalling my entire system, have lost access to my own user profile.
    I'm assuming you have tried starting up with your original system install disk in the computer, while you turn it on, hold the option key, it will allow you to run another hardware check, as well as to do an archive install if it comes down to that.
    good luck, please let me know if you find out something else that might be causing the problems... i've noticed that alot of mac threads have similar probs listed.

  • Airport Problems after Security Update 2007-004

    Ever since I've installed Security Update 2007-004 my Airport connection has been dropping about every 15 to 30 minutes. Sometimes Airport will stay connected but will stop working until I renew my DHCP lease (I get the same IP though). When it drops I click on the Airport icon to reconnect but my network doesn't always show up. Sometimes I have to turn Airport off and back on again to make it show up, and a few times I've had to reset my computer to make it show up.
    I have a MacBook Pro with an 802.11n card. I'm using two different routers; one at work, and one at home. The work router is a Linksys N router while the one at home is a Linksys G router.
    I've tried all the tricks. Repairing Permissions, deleting the extension caches, installing the standalone updater, but nothing is working.

    Deleting AppleAirPort2.kext solved the problem for some...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=934370&tstart=0
    While others had to rollback the AppleAirPort.kext to version...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4310165&#4310165
    Installing the Security update 1.0.1 from 5/01/2007 helped others. Reapplying the Combo Update again helped a couple of people.

  • Delay when opening Airport menu bar item following Security Update 2007-005

    When I first got this computer, there was one annoying quirk: when I clicked on the Airport menu bar item at the top right, there would be a roughly 1 second pause before the menu actually appeared. I recall hearing other people having the same experience at the time. Airport worked fine, but this delay was really annoying: since you're not sure if the system registered your click, so you click again, but then it registers the second click which causes the menu to disappear as soon as it appears, and you click again, and fall into this ridiculous cycle of fighting the sluggish menu item.
    Before long, this issue disappeared following some update (I can't remember which).
    After installing Security Update 2007-005, this exact same annoyance has reappeared. (I can confirm that the presence of the 802.11n Enabler update has no effect on the problem.)
    Is anyone else noticing this? Is there anything I can do to fix it?

    Hi
    Can you tell people how you cured the problem, so that those who search looking for answers to a similar problem know how to fix it?
    Steve
    I haven't got a problem myself, BTW)

  • Intermittent conntectivity after installing AirPort Extreme Update 2007-1

    Software Update updated Airport Extreme Update 2007-1 and Security Update 2007-1 on 1/28/07. Since then I have had intermittent connectivity with my AirPort card. Other Macs in my house that have not run this update are working just fine.
    I have deleted all entries in the Network control panel and re-entered (I'm using WPA-Personal) and still I get a few minutes of connectivity (very good signal strength, too) and I get dropped completely. The Airport card shows a 169.x.x.x IP address which means I'm out of luck.
    If I delete and re-enter the information in the Network control panel for my AirPort card and restart, I'm fine for a few minutes.
    This was not happening prior to the AirPort Extreme Update 2007-001
    Is there a way to uninstall these updates so I can troubleshoot? Or does anyone have any other advice?
    Thanks,
    JJJ

    I'm having exactly the same problem, I tried the fix of switching my WPA to WPA2-Personal and still about ever 15 minutes or so I have no more connection to the network or internet even though my status meter still shows me as connected to my access point. This is becomming quite frustrating because the only fix I've found so far is to reboot the machine, then I get maybe another 15 minutes or so until I loose connectivity and have to reboot again.
    If anyone has any other suggestions, or knows if Apple is aware of this problem and HOPEFULLY working to correct it please let me, and the rest of us know.
    Thanks!

  • Wireless networking fails after AirPort Extreme Update 2007-003

    I have just tried installing AirPort Extreme Update 2007-003 on a MacBook Pro and wireless networking, which used to work, now no longer works.
    My wireless network consists of the MBP and a Thomson Speedtouch 585 ADSL modem/router.
    The symptom is that no connection can be obtained - the Airport menubar item flashes continually about once a second, as does the WLAN activity light on the 585.
    The Console.log reports (repeatedly) that "configd crashed" and the corresponding information in /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/configd.crash.log says that:
    "Command: configd
    Path: /usr/sbin/configd
    Parent: launchd [1]
    Version: ??? (???)
    PID: 473
    Thread: 1
    Exception: EXCBADACCESS (0x0001)
    Codes: KERNINVALIDADDRESS (0x0001) at 0xb1e0cf60"
    (There is a lot more diagnostic info - which I can supply if it helps)
    All system software is up to date (Tiger 10.4.9) - I had just run the system updater.
    If I disable Airport (i.e. wireless networking) and connect the MBP to the 585 by Ethernet, then it all works fine.
    Something similar happened to my system about 4 weeks ago - I got around it that time by rerunning the MacOS 10.4.9 Combo update - but this time that doesn't work.
    Any suggestions on why configd is crashing and how to stop it?
    MacBookPro 15" Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Thanks for your help
    Curiouser & curiouser!
    My answer was going to be that keychain had nothing to do with the problem. If I log in as a different user (even a freshly-created one), I still get the same symptoms. I was also getting the same symptoms with a rescue copy of 10.4.9 on an external hard disk.
    However, I thought I would have a look at my keychain using the Keychain Access utility (which, I seem to remember, has some recovery/repair functions). Lo and behold, the Keychain Access utility crashes after about 2 seconds and the crash report in ~/library/logs looks similar to one for configd. Here is a sample:

    So it looks as if something is messing up my keychain (all my keychains?) and that in turn crashes both configd and keychain access.
    Do you have any suggestions on where to go from here? There are two issues:
    How to stop keychain getting corrupted again?
    How to repair the corrupted keychain if I can't use Keychain Acess? - can you just delete the keychain file and then re-enter passwords as and when necessary?
    Meanwhile I can experiment with reloading my rescue copy of 10.4.9. If this fault is reproducable, then I guess I ought to file a bug report with Apple

  • Security Update 2007-5 damaged Powerbook G3-400 Lombard hard drive

    Reporting unfortunate, possibly expensive, very time-consuming crash of my Powerbook G3-400 (Lombard) when I installed Apple's Security Update 2007-5 a couple of days ago:
    • Logged on as admin user, no other app running (that I remember), but still had USB cables in (they were for iPod - not connected, and for external USB jump drive, connected). OS was 10.3.9, with all updates up to that date. Connected to broadband by Ethernet to switch to cable modem, NOT wireless.
    Downloaded, installed, but then during optimization phase got spinning beachball with no progress for over 2 hrs.
    • Side comment: HD has 3 partitions: OS X, OS9, and Storage for Users folders. Symlink from OS X's Users folder to actual user folders on the 3rd partition.
    • Forced warm boot (Ctrl-Cmd-Pwr), then got nowhere - no OS load.
    • Restarted with OS9 CD (no longer have OS X CD, only DVD that does Lombard won't read under OS X): OS X system partition flaky, unable to select it as Startup partition.
    • Opened computer, removed hard drive, put it into external case with FW & USB, inspected HD with another FW computer: while OS X partition could be read (at first), running Disk Util showed it was a bad partition, and had to be re-initialized. Lucky I had backed up all non-OS X applications first!
    • Re-installed OS X from DVD to the external HD case, applied updates.
    • Moved HD back from external case to the PowerBook: now booted OK.
    • Disk Util on HD now shows 3rd partition ("Storage") bad.
    • However - when went to tighten screws of HD carrier and close Powerbook, lost the HD all over again. Best I can figure out now, somewhere in that process, the orange power/data cable connecting the HD to the IDE/Motherboard quit working (broke?), so I now have a dead Powerbook, until the hardware issue is fixed.
    Bottom line: Applying this Security Update led to massive frustrations, frittering of humongous gobs of time (waiting for OS9 to load from CD whenever I tried to test and see if it recognized the internal HDD), and now a dead Powerbook G3. Hopefully a replacement ribbon cable will do the job; although if it's downstream from it (i.e., motherboard connector pins or IDE controller), that's going to be VERY expensive.
    Reading this forum and others, perhaps I should have removed the attached USB devices (cable for iPod but without iPod attached, and USB thumbdrive). Also read somewhere that others have had problems with moving Users folders to separate partitions and symlinking to those cause problems with Security Update.
    However: wish Apple's Security Updates were better behaved, this experience is making me much more scared of applying any updates in future…

    I hear what you are saying.
    Let's talk about failure probabilities over large populations. These trends may not apply to your specific case, since you do not have a large sample, you have one.
    Of the components you mention, the ones least likely to fail are those that consist only of wires, such as the Hard drive cable. As I recall, it is a flex cable, which is even less likely to die in normal use unless you manage to stretch or pinch it -- it is made to be flexed.
    Next least likely to fail is the motherboard electronics. Those drivers and connectors are meant to be plugged and unplugged a few times, but admittedly are not intended for harsh service, and are sometimes subject to zapping by static.
    Most likely of all these components to fail is the spinning metal disk whose moveable heads fly much closer to the rapidly spinning surface than a smoke particle, a fingerprint, or a human hair. One good shock, or a few dozen smaller ones, and the head could crash onto the surface of the disk, scrubbing off some of the oxide and spraying it over the inside of the drive to cause more problems later.
    If this is the original drive, it was manufactured in about 1999. The manufacturer probably sold the same drive at retail with a one-year warranty. Eight years later it has failed. Even if it is a replacement, it is the most likely the Drives that will fail. Thats why you were wise enough to make a backup.
    I expect that the trouble you are having with multiple partitions is an indication that the disk is dying. The way to determine this is to re-write it with known patterns, and read back all those patterns and note which sectors require hardware error correction (to check for errors). A working drive has a number of spare sectors that can be low-level substituted for ones that are found to be bad during this test.
    The way to accomplish this feat under Mac OS X is to initialize the drive with the "Zero All Data" option. It will take several hours to complete. If it passes, your disk has all good sectors. If it fails, running the test again sometimes does a second level of substitution and allows the drive to initialize OK.
    I do not know your exact situation, but over a large sample, it is more likely that your drive died, and more likely that it is mostly a coincidence that it happened during this update, except that the optimize is known to read and write a lot of data in different parts of the disk.

Maybe you are looking for
